Adventures in Babysitting: Art Exploration

January 12, 2014 //  by Terra Osterling

Nephews K. & D. had a two week vacation from school over Christmas and New Year’s. TWO. WEEKS. After the boys take ridiculously long showers (what a water bill they must have), we play games, we do crafts, and I try (with limited success) to get some work done while D. leans on my elbow. …

Screen Time Ate My Brain

November 3, 2013 //  by Terra Osterling

The phrase ‘screen time’ is in the Oxford dictionary: Screen time: noun : the time allotted to or occupied by a particular subject, actor, etc., on film or television: these characters deserve more screen time : time spent using a device such as a computer, television, or games console.

Christmas Crafts

December 9, 2012 //  by Terra Osterling

One Christmas my mother made candy wreaths for our elementary school teachers. She bent a metal coat hanger into a perfect circle then painstakingly tied red and green curling ribbon around the hoop, adding peppermint candies along the way. She was very good at making ringlets with a quick zip of the ribbon between thumb …

Getting A Christmas Wish

December 25, 2011 //  by Terra Osterling

Last week, I previewed my upcoming publication in our local daily newspaper, the Democrat and Chronicle. This is, by far, the best Christmas gift I have ever received! The past year has been one gratifying writing experience after another. I cannot thank enough all the people who have helped me along the way; old and …

It is an ancient holiday that precedes a newer holiday by four days – one that dominates the season for a variety reasons. But Christmas and Winter Solstice are similar in an …

Halloween Carving

October 30, 2011 //  by Terra Osterling

Week Two of Linoleum Block Cutting was finishing the sampler and printing. My sampler had me conceptualizing, sketching and using nearly all of the gouges – a real run through the creative gauntlet, but a practical adventure! The printing exercise is more practical adventuring in water-based ink, several kinds of papers and different methods of …

Block Cutting at GCAE

October 23, 2011 //  by Terra Osterling

Writing is my craft, but block cutting is becoming a creative outlet. It is the art that set this ship sailing – a quiet, solitary process. A little physical, a little analytical, and a lot of faith. Last Fall I took a Block Cutting and Spoon Printing class at Genesee Center for the Arts and …

Metamorphosis

Monarch egg

July 17, 2011 //  by Terra Osterling

Milkweed is an invasive plant, one that can grow to five feet tall and then releases its seeds in a snowstorm of burst pods in late summer. They proliferate and their roots grow deep. I know this because I used to pull them out every growing season, the milky white poison splattering and running down …
